This one is special! ✨
If you, like many McDonald’s India fans, have been curious about what makes McDonald’s India so beloved, you’re in for a treat.
Our Managing Director at McDonald’s India (W&S), Saurabh Kalra, was recently in conversation with Radio Mirchi 98.3 FM. He had a lot to share with the RJs and Radio Mirchi listeners. And now, we’re sharing all that with you!
From working at McDonald’s India (W&S) for the past 23 years across departments and working up the ladder to our menu innovations, our Real Food, Real Good tenet and the happiness culture we are about, Saurabh spoke freely with Mirchi. It was a fun segment!
For one, we agree with RJ Dnyaneshwari and RJ Megha, who delightedly mention McDonald’s India as THE place to be at, and the strong connection one has with McDonald’s India. Upon being asked about working at McDonald’s India and the work-life balance, Saurabh talks about how working in different departments within McDonald’s helped him learn and understand the brand, and there is so much joy in working at McDonald’s. From then to him now as Managing Director, he has two-and-a-half decades of intelligence and research as to what makes our customers happy. It, truly, is about our fries! ;) But, also, the menu innovations we’ve made for Indian customers thus far.
It’s such a delight to hear Saurabh, all motivated and sharing the infectious energy around. Listen in to know what we mean…
While customers enjoy our classic McDonald’s India offerings, they’ve been amazed at the evolution of our offerings too. Our influences are Indians’ love for hot, savoury snacks and international tastes in equal measure. It has helped us combine the two, creating flavours so special. The Real Food, Real Good McAloo Tikki Burger®, launched in 1998, is one such customer fave! Also, such a treat to hear the RJs going gaga over their favourite McAloo Tikki Burger®.
We believe that a good food item is dependent on its ingredients and as Saurabh affirms to Radio Mirchi, we are incredibly cognisant, regarding evolving our menu to include meal options that are good and tasty for you. It was lovely to hear Saurabh’s take on the role of ingredients and food items when making food choices, and how McDonald’s India offers a variety of menu options to choose from. There is indeed something for each one!
Talking about the much talked about Multi-Millet Bun, Saurabh shared more insider information on the amazing journey. While we have internal food nutritionists and a quality assurance team, we also recently partnered with Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) to launch our Multi-Millet Bun, endorsed by Sanjeev Kapoor.
Ending on a sweet note, the RJ asked Saurabh for some inspirational words
You know, at McDonald’s India, happiness is our driving force. This includes the wellbeing of our employees, and their personal growth too. Life is too short to not enjoy, as Saurabh simply puts it!
